As for the alarms in the library, once I started expecting it, I found it pretty hilarious, especially since the security guard started recognizing me.
Wychmire he/him Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Oh okay. I really liked it by the way. Although I assume you knew that.

I didn't know 100% for certain, but on this site it's pretty safe to assume that. Update: today was an awesome day. For one thing, I heard a hummingbird twittering to himself on my way back to my car after work. I spent the whole drive home grinning like a lunatic. I also went to Book Trivia Night at the public library tonight, and it was a blast! We split up into teams and did 7 rounds of trivia, each with a theme and 10 questions. The themes: Books Made Into Musicals, Which Wizard Said It--Gandalf or Dumbledore?, Adventure Is Out There! (books involving a journey), It's a Mystery (Fill in the blank with book titles), Famous First Lines, Recent Bestsellers, and Lions and Tigers and Bears! (name the author that created the animal character). My teammates were very knowledgeable about the musicals. I only knew two answers that round, and they had to do with Hamilton and Phantom of the Opera. The Adventure Is Out There! round was frustrating because almost all the journeys took place in the boring real world; none of the questions were about The Hobbit or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which are two books I think would be obvious topics for that category. But at least we got the question about Huckleberry Finn right. The Gandalf vs Dumbledore round was one of our best ones--we got 9/10 of those correct, and I personally knew most of them. Answers from the Famous First Lines category (a round in which we scored well) included Moby-dick, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Catcher in the Rye, Anna Karenina, 1984, and The Book Thief. Recent Bestsellers was a surprisingly bad round for my team... The only answer I knew was about Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles--specifically the last book, which I haven't even read yet. XD We did better on the It's a Mystery category, though. One of the clues was "The _____ Falcon," and I'm pretty sure every single person in the room knew the answer was The Maltese Falcon. I think maybe the only one that stumped us that round was "The ______ at the Bottom of the Pie." None of us recognized the title, so we were trying to think what kind of things you would find at the bottom of a pie--a pan, the crust, cherry filling...? Turns out the answer was "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie." My favorite round was Lions and Tigers and Bears! Working as a team, we answered all 10 questions correctly, but by myself I knew like 7 or 8 of the answers. Mostly carried my team for this round, which made me feel good. Question topics in this category included The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris from Harry Potter, Redwall by Brian Jacques, Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah (Bree for short) and Reepicheep from the Chronicles of Narnia, direwolves from the Game of Thrones books, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Clearly. In the end, my team answered 55 of 70 questions correctly, which put us in 2nd place. (The 1st-place team scored 65/70.) As a prize, each member of my team got a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble. I think I'm going to put mine towards buying White Sand Vol 1. Either that or the new illustrated edition of Alcatraz vs the Shattered Lens. Edited June 25, 2016 by Sunbird 1

Though I did use some American dollars to buy Police Procedure and Investigation: A Guide for Writers, which is turning out to be a sound investment thus far. The author is a retired homicide detective, so I know the whole thing will be stuffed with the sort of nitty-gritty details that prove most TV police procedurals inaccurate. In other words, I think Christmas came a few months early. 1
Mestiv he/him Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 I found some music I listened to 8 years ago and it's still as good as I remembered ^^ Spoiler

Jondesu he/him Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 So in Angry Birds 2 there is an Arena mode where you compete against other players (though not live), and win stars based on how many points you win by, which are then used to rank the players. In the Diamond League, which is the top league, I got the best score for the tournament period (one week), which means for that week...I was literally the best player in the game, in the entire world. Just wish I'd thought to take a screenshot. jW 3

Mestiv he/him Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I'd love to switch places... you'd land in a small room without air conditioning, in front of a computer, taking care of some software... 5 hours till your shift ends I guess this swap would be more beneficial for me
